Just got mine for Christmas (piano black slim) with 6 games, which are:

Tekken Dare Resurrection

Daxter

Hot Shots Golf

Wipe Out

Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles

Metal Gear plus -- which doesn't work without the original, so I need to pick that up.

These games will keep me busy for awhile, but I still want to get a few more pretty soon.

Samurai Shodown 2

Fatal Fury 2

Mortal Kombat 2

Final Fight

Mega Man X series

NBA JAM

Killer Instinct

NFL Blitz 2000

There's probably a lot more I could think of, but any of those would have me spending some MS points for sure.

Ryu from Street Fighter has been my favorite for years--ever since Street Fighter II and on.

We cannot comment on rumor or speculation-- MS Reps. That is what they always say about everything that they are asked about that has not been "officially" announced. So yeah MS dismissed this, but hey if it IS true...this would rule! I've been so looking forward to a new Crimson Skies game and SW Battlefronts 3 would just be icing on the already delectable cake!locutuslq959

I definitely agree. It seems like they almost want things to leak so as to get people more excited for what stuff they'll have to show off. Well, that's probably not true, but it does seem like a lot of stuff from MS is easily leaked and for the most part ends up being true. The 360 had all those sort of 'clues' as to what it was all about long before launch, and I remember another time where something from a press event was leaked and most of it ended up being accurate as well--if not all of it, I can't quite remember.

Anyways, the game I would love to see from that list is Ninja Gaiden 2. It's been a game that I've been thinking about, lately, and I can't wait to see how things are shaping up--since it has to be in production by now, or probably has been for the past while.

My third, actually. And when I brought my second one back to the store, I made sure they tested this third console before I brought it home to face another 3/4 ring of red lights. And so they hooked everything up, and there it goes again: the 3/4 ring of red lights. So they unhook that console and hook up another, and what do you know, another ring of stupidity.

Anyways, that time they finally were able to understand the error message as being a faulty HDD, so they just replaced it with one that worked, and here I am with a working 360.

Well, in the demo you only have one track and a limited number of cars, which can't be customized. Reading gamespot's review will give you an idea of what the full version has to offer, but it also offers up some things that you wouldn't expect from a sim. Like last night I entered an online match where the host's rules were that it was a 'drifting only' match. :lol: I thought that was amazing, especially since this is a sim, and I'm used to Gran Turismo, where other than the rally section there's absolutely no way that you can drift your car. Anyways, Forza 2 ables you to drift perfectly, and the game we had figured out was to try to drift as close as possible to one another without hitting our cars--which I thought was great fun. :)

Heh, that is so cool. I wonder if you could get an orange color that stands out a bit more? I noticed that with the regular colors in Forza that they're not very vibrant.

I've went through three systems so far (since Christmas '06) and that obviously can't be overlooked. But when it is actually working, it's amazing, and probably the best gaming experience I've ever had. I'm just glad I purchased a 3 year warranty with mine.

Best simulation racing game ever, imo. Ask Chuck.

Staryoshi87

Walker Texas Ranger?! :lol: And, yes, this is easily the best sim--or just racer in general--that I've ever played.

For racing games: Forza 2 is in my opinion the best there is on any console.

For shooters: Rainbow Six: Vegas, and I would definitely recommend Gears--it's just a must for any 360 owner.

Fighting games: Street Fighter II' HF, UMK3, Dead or Alive 4--they're all pretty good.

RPG's: I only really know of one, and that's Oblivion, which is a great, great game.

Sports titles: Personally, I don't play sports games anymore, but from when I did, I remember Tiger Woods being great and same with NBA Street.
